Anglican ping!
OH MONK
So who is James II closest living descendant?
The Queen herself is descended from James I. I think.
I believe she is as well I just wonder if there isn't a closer relative to James II out there than her.
This guy, apparently: Franz, Duke of Bavaria
Somehow I don't see him landing in Scotland anytime soon.
Interesting. English culture and society must be in a bit of a turmoil these days.
Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams.

Druid, not wiccan. But he's also a bit in the refiner's fire these days and we'll have to wait to see what comes out.
I should hope so!

Main articles: Descent of Elizabeth II and Ancestry of Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom
Elizabeth is the daughter of George VI), the second eldest son of George V and Queen Mary, and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, later Queen Elizabeth, and, after her daughter's accession to the throne, the Queen Mother, the daughter of Claude George Bowes-Lyon, 14th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne and his wife, Nina Cecilia Cavendish-Bentinck, the Countess of Strathmore and Kinghorne.
Queen Elizabeth is the male-line great-granddaughter of Edward VII, who inherited the crown from his mother, Queen Victoria. His father, Victoria's consort, was Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha; hence Queen Elizabeth is a patrilineal descendant of the German princely house of Wettin. She has Danish roots also in the main lines, and her lineage includes figures as diverse as Armenian princes, Mongol warriors and Muslim leaders.[41]
Other notable members of the princely house are King Albert II of Belgium and former King Simeon II of Bulgaria. Through Victoria (as well as several other of her great-great-grandparents), she is descended from many English monarchs extending back to the House of Wessex in the 7th century, and from the Scottish royal house, the House of Stuart, and its predecessors, which can be traced back to the 6th century. There is a direct line of descent from William the Conqueror to Queen Elizabeth. As a great-great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria, she is related to the heads of most other reigning and non-reigning European royal houses such as the former Hohenzollern royal houses of Germany and Romania. Through her great-grandmother Queen Alexandra, she is descended from the Danish royal house of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, a line of the North German house of Oldenburg, and one of the oldest in Europe ; other members are the Duke of Edinburgh, Margrethe II of Denmark, Harald V of Norway, Queen Sofia of Spain, Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and former King Constantine II of Greece, who are also all descended from Queen Victoria. She is further related to all ruling hereditary monarchs of Europe, as a descendant of Johan Willem Friso, Prince of Orange (1687 – 1711), common ancestor to all reigning European royal houses.
So do you think that England is on the road to becoming a Catholic and Muslim society? Should be interesting, huh...
St Thomas More, St Edmond Campion, thou art vindicated!
"In condemning us, you condemn your own ancestors, you condemn all the ancient Bishops and Kings, you condemn all that was once the glory of England." -- St Edmund Campion, 20 November 1581
The Archbishop is certainly not wiccan. The presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church we're not so sure about. :-)
I thought all Stuart line were all dead
>> But the head of the Polish vicariate told The Times that the number of Poles in London had doubled
The Poles never get the credit they so much deserve. Good to hear positive migration news.
